Hi everybody. I've recently purchased a pair of ERR from a chap who'd only owned them for a couple of months (his wife hated the looks!!) but unfortunately they have a problem. One of the tweeters makes no sound.

Now I know what you're all going to say: check and double check all the connections. I assure you that I have, countless times. I've swapped resistors and caps between left and right and the problem remains. Anyone have any bright ideas as to what to try next?

This is so frustrating, as they are potentially the end of a very long journey to find speakers that I can finally forget about and just listen to music! Any suggestions will be most welcome.

Update: The tweeter took a loooong time to get to me. Don't ask. I have had it for a couple of weeks now though, but haven't quite got round to fitting it yet due to various factors which include: poor time management, mislaying my soldering iron, and preparing for a vulture hunting trip this Friday. When I get back later in the month it'll be top of my list of things to do.

Excellent. Your post prompted me to look a few things up. Found out more than I had ever known about Old World and New World vultures. I knew we didn't lack for our own here in Kalifornia, but the DNA evidence about the differences between European and American birds was interesting.

Just to close the saga of my ERR problems: they are now sounding better than ever since I got hold of an Audion Silver Night MkII Anniversary with fancy tube upgrades. 7wpc of single-ended delight. Quite a contrast to the battleship solid state ASR amp and monstrous Hyperion speakers I was rocking before, which were amazing but ridiculous in my small, awkwardly-shaped listening room.

Less importantly but still good news: The ERR cost me less than a third of the price of the Hyperions. The Silver Night cost me less than half the price of the ASR. Proof if proof were needed that just spending more money doesn't necessarily bring increased joy.
